Every train to Egmore and Central empties
thousands of visitors to Chennai – many from villages, coming to the metropolis
for sight-seeing. Chennai actually has
little to offer for tourists, that too, for those who cannot spend much ! Crowds throng Marina beach, to enjoy the sea
breeze, have their feet wet by waves of Bay of Bengal, see Anna and MGR
samadhies and the like…. The Exhibition
organized at Theevu Thidal [island grounds] also attracts people in huge numbers. Besides the various stalls, there are some
giant wheels providing amusement – the other day, my friend quipped that these
are rickety ones and safety is totally lacking ! – the popular perception is
that ‘where they charge you more, equipments are well-maintained’ !

Once upon a time, there was only the VGP –
then came along Kishkinta and MGM – some more like EVP, Queensland got added. To those not so familiar with Chennai these
are some of the theme parks or do we call them Amusement parks ! - primarily places promoting to provide
entertainment with play equipments of kinds catering to certain age groups, as well as some that are
aimed towards all ages. Amusement parks evolved from European fairs and
pleasure gardens, which were created for people's recreation. The oldest
amusement park in the world is Bakken, north of Copenhagen, Denmark,
which opened in 1583. They debuted in
this part of the World centuries later.

I had been to couple of them – and the
first thought that strikes one, is do people really enjoy the rides or get
overawed with fear in some of them – are they really pleasant – sometimes you
get a feeling that when people get down, they clearly hide their fear and come
out as if they enjoyed – many shriek and shrill aloud whilst inside the ride as
fear grips them.

Many of them are in the category of what
we colloquially call ‘giant wheel’ – actually Ferris wheels – a structure
consisting of a rotating upright wheel with passenger cars (sometimes referred
to as gondolas or capsules) attached to the rim in such a way that as the wheel
turns, the cars are kept upright, usually by gravity. Some of the largest and most modern Ferris
wheels have cars mounted on the outside of the rim, and electric motors to
independently rotate each car to keep it upright. The tallest of them is the 165-metre (541
ft) Singapore Flyer, which opened to the public in March 2008.

It could well be a stray incident – in Apr
2012, a 25-year-old entrepreneur suffered multiple fractures when she fell off
a joyride at an amusement park in Chembarambakkam. The
incident occurred at EVP World, a newly-opened amusement park on the
Chennai-Bangalore highway, which she was visiting with family and friends. At
12.30, she was thrown off the 'cup 'n' saucer' ride and slammed against the
base of the structure, fracturing her hip and collar bone. A case was lodged
with the police. Family of the
victim and amusement park officials
offered contradictory versions on what caused the fall. While the family
claimed that a safety chain
securing the door of their box broke during the ride, officials at the theme
park said the woman opened the door herself out of fear before the ride
stopped. The lack of emergency help and
assistance of medical professionals is generally felt in all these places.

Immediately, there would be comparisons
that in Foreign countries, safety is always considered very high. Daily Mail reports of another incident, again
this also could be freak and a stray one.
It is reported that visitors had to spend hours suspended at 300 feet as
ride stopped suddenly and that was not the first time. The report states that 20 riders expecting a
short thrill were left dangling at 300 feet for nearly four hours when the
Windseeker ride at Southern California's Knott's Berry Farm amusement park
stalled. Knott's said in a statement that the ride, which lifts fun-seekers
high over the park with their legs dangling and spins them in a circle, came to
a stop when its security system activated at about 4pm Wednesday. It was the second time in two weeks that the
ride stopped suddenly, and the it will
remain closed while the cause is investigated.

A witty tourist from Baltimore was quoted as saying that 'They
didn't tell me that in the brochure,' - putting the bad feelings behind, that
person Garrison was sure to get a souvenir T-shirt that read 'I SURVIVED
WINDSEEKER' before he left. There
reportedly were announcements on PA system asking them to be patient and
TV cameras showed riders sitting calmly
as they dangled and the sun set, some casually swinging their legs.
